Returning to New Zealand from Asia, our home for many years, we wanted to find the best place in the world to grow cool climate grapes and most particularly Pinot Noir – the “holy grail” of grapes and also the most difficult to grow!

Desert Heart is where beautiful wines are created, with what is best for the land, the grape and the soul; for us, it is the relentless pursuit of creating great enjoyment, wrapped in mystery, with a touch of sensuality.
